As new cylinder lock attack methods emerge, security must keep pace with them. By raising standards, the industry can stay ahead of threats and support the security industry in protecting homes and businesses.
The latest revision of national standards for enhanced security performance shows how the industry adapts to evolving risks. In 2024, TS007 was updated with the support of BSi and Sold Secure, which now includes protection against the latest forms of cylinder manipulation, such as freezing and glueing.
Following this, accreditation for SS312 Diamond and TS007 was also updated, becoming SS312 Diamond 2024 and BSi TS007-1:2024, with both coming into full effect from January 2027.
How Compliance Works in Practice
The framework of standards may appear complex, yet each plays an important and complementary role.
- BS EN1303:2015, provides the technical foundation by setting out clear criteria for durability, resistance and security. Its grading system allows cylinders to be measured and compared in a consistent way, giving an objective benchmark for product performance.
- TS007-1:2024, created by the Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) and the Glass and Glazing Federation, applies a star rating system to cylinders and hardware, with three stars indicating the highest level of resistance.
- SS312 Diamond, managed by Sold Secure, subjects cylinders to prolonged and sophisticated attempts to compromise them.
Many insurance policies require TS007-three-star or SS312 Diamond approval, for cover to remain valid. Overlaying these standards is Secured by Design, the police-backed initiative recognising products proven to reduce crime. A cylinder awarded with this Police Preferred Specification has been reviewed for its contribution to reducing actual crime.
